Accuracy and efficiency of germline variant calling pipelines for human genome data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Advances in next-generation sequencing technology have enabled whole genome sequencing (WGS) to be widely used for identification of causal variants in a spectrum of genetic-related disorders, and provided new insight into ... -
Alps to Apennines zircon roller coaster along the Adria microplate margin
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02-09)We have traced the particle path of high-pressure metasedimentary rocks on Elba Island, Northern Apennines, with the help of a U-Pb-Hf detrital zircon study. One quarter of the analysed zircons are surprisingly young, ... -

Atlantic salmon and sea trout display synchronised smolt migration relative to linked environmental cues
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Anadromous salmon and sea trout smolts face challenging migrations from freshwater to the marine environment characterised by high mortality. Therefore, the timing of smolt migration is likely to be critical for survival. ... -
An Atlantic-driven rapid circulation change in the North Pacific Ocean during the late 1990s
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-10-08)Interbasin interactions have been increasingly emphasized in recent years due to their roles in shaping climate trends and the global warming hiatus in the northern hemisphere. The profound influence from the North Atlantic ... -
Brain solute transport is more rapid in periarterial than perivenous spaces
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Fluid flow in perivascular spaces is recognized as a key component underlying brain transport and clearance. An important open question is how and to what extent differences in vessel type or geometry affect perivascular ... -
Century-long cod otolith biochronology reveals individual growth plasticity in response to temperature
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Otolith biochronologies combine growth records from individual fish to produce long-term growth sequences, which can help to disentangle individual from population-level responses to environmental variability. This study ... -
Changes in the gene expression profile during spontaneous migraine attacks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Migraine attacks are delimited, allowing investigation of changes during and outside attack. Gene expression fluctuates according to environmental and endogenous events and therefore, we hypothesized that changes in RNA ... -
Characterization of Pseudoterranova ceticola (Nematoda: Anisakidae) larvae from meso/bathypelagic fishes off Macaronesia (NW Africa waters)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The genus Pseudoterranova includes parasite species of cetaceans and pinnipeds. The third stage larva (L3) of seal-infecting species occur in second intermediate or paratenic fish hosts mainly in neritic waters. This study ... -
The chemical defensome of five model teleost fish
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)How an organism copes with chemicals is largely determined by the genes and proteins that collectively function to defend against, detoxify and eliminate chemical stressors. This integrative network includes receptors and ... -
Coherent electron displacement for quantum information processing using attosecond single cycle pulses
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Coherent electron displacement is a conventional strategy for processing quantum information, as it enables to interconnect distinct sites in a network of atoms. The efficiency of the processing relies on the precise control ... -
Constraining the tectonic evolution of rifted continental margins by U–Pb calcite dating
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We employ U–Pb calcite dating of structurally-controlled fracture fills within crystalline Caledonian basement in western Norway to reveal subtle large-scale tectonic events that affected this rifted continental margin. ... -
Cryptic introgression: evidence that selection and plasticity mask the full phenotypic potential of domesticated Atlantic salmon in the wild
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09-18)Domesticated Atlantic salmon grow much faster than wild salmon when reared together in fish tanks under farming conditions (size ratios typically 1:2–3). In contrast, domesticated salmon only display marginally higher ... -
Developmental RNA-Seq transcriptomics of haploid germ cells and spermatozoa uncovers novel pathways associated with teleost spermiogenesis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In non-mammalian vertebrates, the molecular mechanisms involved in the transformation of haploid germ cells (HGCs) into spermatozoa (spermiogenesis) are largely unknown. Here, we investigated this process in the marine ... -
Disentangling source of moisture driving glacier dynamics and identification of 8.2 ka event: evidence from pore water isotopes, Western Himalaya
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Two atmospheric circulation patterns, the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) and mid-latitude Westerlies control precipitation and thus glacier variability in the Himalaya. However, the role of the ISM and westerlies in controlling ... -
Dynamical controls on the longevity of a non-linear vortex : The case of the Lofoten Basin Eddy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-17)The Lofoten Basin is the largest oceanic reservoir of heat in the Nordic Seas, and the site of important heat fluxes to the atmosphere. An intense permanent anticyclone in the basin impacts the regional hydrography, ... -
Early detection of anthropogenic climate change signals in the ocean interior
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Robust detection of anthropogenic climate change is crucial to: (i) improve our understanding of Earth system responses to external forcing, (ii) reduce uncertainty in future climate projections, and (iii) develop efficient ... -
Earthquake statistics changed by typhoon-driven erosion
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Tectonics and climate-driven surface processes govern the evolution of Earth’s surface topography. Topographic change in turn influences lithospheric deformation, but the elementary scale at which this feedback can be ... -
Environmental contaminants modulate the transcriptional activity of polar bear (Ursus maritimus) and human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARA)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-06)Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alfa (PPARA/NR1C1) is a ligand activated nuclear receptor that is a key regulator of lipid metabolism in tissues with high fatty acid catabolism such as the liver. Here, we cloned ... -
Estimation of groundwater storage loss for the Indian Ganga Basin using multiple lines of evidence
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We used remote sensing data, field observations and numerical groundwater modelling to investigate long-term groundwater storage losses in the regional aquifer of the Ganga Basin in India. This comprised trend analysis for ...
